I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 508: Chapter 507: Not the Tian Family’s, but Mine

Shao Simin is not unreasonable and certainly wouldn’t start talking right away. She waits until they’ve chatted for a while before bringing it up, so it doesn’t seem abrupt or aggressive, especially since the other is pregnant.

Shao Simin thinks as she glances around here. It’s her first time coming to this courtyard. The layout is similar to there, and the area is about the same, with a similar style. It’s unknown how many times better it is than her apartment, both more spacious and brighter. Living here would make anyone feel different.

Originally feeling rather pleased about living in an apartment, Shao Simin now feels a bit displeased. After all, they’re relatives. Luo Xuhua and Luo Xudong may not be biological brothers, but they’re closer than brothers. This younger brother is already living in such a nice house and has two of them, so he should look after his brother too.

Shao Simin isn’t short of money to buy one, the issue is she can’t buy even if she has the money!

Not just anyone can buy here. She estimates Luo Xudong was able to buy not one but two houses here because he’s in the military and a deputy regiment commander.

”This house is so spacious, just looking at it makes you feel comfortable. Xudong and Sitiang have managed to buy it, so they must have earned quite a bit,” Shao Simin says with a smile.

Luo Xudong, who only gets allowances as a soldier, and Beisitian, a military doctor with a fixed salary, where do they get so much money? It must be from the Shenghua Group shares!

Shao Simin has no idea how much is distributed each year, and even though only one year’s worth went to Beisitian, as the second-largest shareholder with forty thousand shares, the payout must be sizable. This house was probably bought with that money!

Beisitian doesn’t know what Shao Simin intends to say, so she doesn’t respond to this conversation thread.

Seeing this, Shao Simin pretends not to notice the look from Luo Xuhua and smiles, saying, ”By the way, Sitiang, have you got your formula? Our media company is all set up and just waiting for your product launch, yet there haven’t been any new medicinal food or cosmetic products.”

Luo Xudong glances at Shao Simin indifferently, and Luo Xuhua clearly senses Luo Xudong’s displeasure, unable to help but sigh. No wonder Shao Simin insisted on coming today; this was the reason!

Now it’s too late to realize.

”This actually isn’t urgent; we initially had a research team, and our current medicinal cosmetics and food are already on sale,” Luo Xuhua interjects, ”Sitiang is pregnant now with her third child, so she shouldn’t be bothered with these worries—focusing on the pregnancy is most important!”

With those words, he gives Shao Simin a warning glance.

Shao Simin feels a block in her heart. Is she wrong in doing this? Beisitian can’t just take dividends without working!

Before Shao Simin can say anything more, Beisitian smiles and says, ”Big brother is here today, I happen to have prepared two formulas, both are medicinal foods. We can try them out first and make them into semi-finished products, and then process them later.”

Shao Simin is delighted to hear this, glancing at Luo Xuhua, as if to say, I didn’t say anything else; she prepared them herself!

Luo Xuhua pretends not to see, feeling a bit disappointed in Shao Simin. Who says college graduates necessarily understand everything, have vision, and are socially adept?

In fact, Shao Simin is fully devoted to him. Living life as a couple is not like dealing with business partners outside; long-term vision is secondary.

Thinking of this, Luo Xuhua sighs inwardly.

”Sitiang, don’t force yourself too much...” Luo Xuhua doesn’t know how to put it.

Beisitian smiles slightly, ”I never force myself.”

It’s merely a matter of jotting things down, hardly a force. Right now, she needs money—a lot of it—so making money is very necessary.

Shao Simin particularly wants Luo Xuhua to quickly agree to this. It’s something Beisitian willingly proposed, and it’s not like they’re forcing her, plus she’s a part of Shenghua Group, doesn’t have to work daily, yet receives money every day, so she should contribute!

In the end, Luo Xuhua agrees, because he can tell Beisitian is serious, and seeing the formulas, they must have been prepared a long time ago.

”There’s no need to rush the medicinal cosmetics and food. Since it’s a small part of the business for now, and with Beisitian’s investment, the company’s financial flow is greatly eased.”

When Luo Xuhua says this, it’s partly to remind Shao Simin that even though Beisitian hasn’t done anything, she has injected significant funds, and partly to tell Beisitian she shouldn’t feel burdened.

Beisitian has no psychological burden at all; she knows this very well; otherwise, why pour so much money into it?

Shao Simin shuts her mouth. She understands the implication behind Luo Xuhua’s words, but so what? After all, Beisitian has already provided the formulas, so she might as well say something agreeable.

”Sitiang is amazing. We’ve always wanted to cooperate with the Tian Family, but the Tian Family had no such intention. Yet with you, Sitiang, you conquered it right away,” Shao Simin says with a smile.

Her words sounded pleasant enough, so Luo Xuhua should be satisfied, but what Beisitian said next changed her expression.

”The formulas are mine, not the Tian Family’s,” Beisitian says plainly.

She can’t mix everything with the Tian Family. Indeed, the Tian Family is well-known now, but her medicinal effects are outstanding and will soon become famous, depending on how the early promotion goes.

The smile on Shao Simin’s face quickly disappears. Looking at Beisitian, she doesn’t know what to say. They wanted the Tian Family’s formulas, Tian Family’s!

Who wants her lousy recipes? It’s absurd!

Does she think that just because she’s the Tian Family’s granddaughter, she is a highly skilled doctor too?

Shao Simin feels irritated, but considering Luo Xuhua is here, she suppresses the anger surging up inside her, and with a calm face, she says, ”Our Shenghua Group is a publicly listed company, not a place for experimenting. We aim for medicinal food formulas of Tian Family’s caliber. Otherwise, it will ruin Shenghua Group’s reputation and affect the stock decline. Who can bear that responsibility!”

Between the lines, there might be an implication that Beisitian is using Shenghua Group for practice. But that’s just putting it this way; Shao Simin thinks the reason Beisitian does this is to leverage Shenghua Group’s reputation to boost her own fame.

Traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine, and with Beisitian being so young, and having no fame, who would seek her treatment? But she can’t put it this way because if she does, there’s an eighty percent chance Luo Xuhua would agree. So she frames it as using Shenghua Group for practice, affecting its reputation, hoping to make Luo Xuhua wary.

She doesn’t believe Beisitian has any real skill, apart from having the title of being the Tian Family’s granddaughter.

Perhaps because the formula wasn’t from the Tian Family, or because she thinks Beisitian has deceived her. In any case, Shao Simin is very angry with what Beisitian said, and her words are not as polite.

”Simin!” Luo Xuhua hurls a reproach.

Shao Simin takes a deep breath and says to Luo Xuhua, ”Xuhua, brotherly feelings are indeed important, but you can’t joke about Shenghua Group’s future; that’s your hard work! And because you’re brothers, you should care more about your hard work and not recklessly squander it!”
